iN DISCUSSION: Escalation of Trump’s trade war is going to hurt

This is where cold hard facts give way to the hottest of takes, mostly mine I suppose. I’m the editor, Marshall Jones.

Nobody asks for a bully, but while you’ve got one, I think this is indeed how they must be handled.

I think Prime Minister Mark Carney did the correct thing for Canada in the long term by refusing to sign a new trade agreement with the United States under terms we all knew would turn ridiculous in the final hours.

There’s still plenty of room to get even more ridiculous.

But in the short term, this is going to hurt.

How much and where will be uneven. Will you be impacted? How so? Are you satisfied with how Canada has acted? Email me at mjones@infonews.ca and let me know.

Wildfire forces Okanagan fruit pickers back to Mexico

Absolutely pathetic! We need these workers and under the circumstances and knowing that this is bound to happen again, the government needs to address taking care of these important workers for our economy for the future.

We are on the ground in Penticton, Vernon, Kelowna and Kamloops to bring you the stories that matter most.

Marshall may call West Kelowna home, but after 16 years in local news and 14 in the Okanagan, he knows better than to tell readers in other communities what is "news' to them. He relies on resident reporters to reflect their own community priorities and needs. As the newsroom leader, his job is making those reporters better, ensuring accuracy, fairness and meeting the highest standards of journalism.
